[AusNOG] Internode goes Carbon Neutral

Hello Paul,

Internode uses Carbon Planet for their credits and green energy.  Simon
Hackett was quoted in a recent issue of Carbon Planet's "Be the Change"
magazine as saying, "Through Carbon Planet, our data centre has 100% green
energy ..."  http://www.carbonplanet.com/newsletters/be_the_change_14.pdf
(page 9).
